| brobostigon | morning boys and girls | 09:03 |
| foobarry | Support for Google’s Widevine CDM on Windows and Mac OS X so streaming services like Amazon Video can switch from Silverlight to encrypted HTML5 video. | 10:41 |
| foobarry | no firefox love for linux? | 10:41 |
| foobarry | or already works? | 10:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're asking for linux users to write better torrenting options | 10:44 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 10:53 |
| davmor2 | morning bigcalm | 10:53 |
| bigcalm | How's yam? | 10:53 |
| knightwise | ²morning peeps | 11:04 |
| Switches | Hey knightwise | 11:06 |
| DJones | Does anybody use any method of accessing MS onedrive on ubuntu, I see there was an unofficial client on github, just wondered if anybody knew of anything that works | 12:15 |
| Switches | If its http://skilion.github.io/onedrive/ I've used it and it's been pretty good | 12:17 |
| DJones | The one I'd read about was http://askubuntu.com/questions/676210/how-to-sync-onedrive-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 12:18 |
| brobostigon | i do believe there is an option in gnome's account syncing too. | 12:18 |
| Switches | gnome can do it like it does with google I think, although if the google one is anything to go by it's not worth the hassle lol | 12:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | wont you just worry that ms will do an update and stop it working at any point they feel like it? | 12:19 |
| DJones | zmoylan-pi: Or cancel it as with UbuntuOne | 12:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah | 12:20 |
| Switches | Well it's less likely to be canceled like Uone was | 12:20 |
| brobostigon | this is why i have owncloud, :) | 12:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | but more likely to randomly update and block linux | 12:20 |
| DJones | It was just something I was thinking of for storage/backups, given I've got 1.2Tb of storage space on onedrive | 12:20 |
| Switches | It's also less likely to change much.. I mean very few of the MS APIs change for years, they just get small tweaks fo the most part lol | 12:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | unless is feeling evil... see skype | 12:21 |
| DJones | Switches: Does that one you mentioned auto run at boot, or do you have to start a daemon manually | 12:21 |
| Switches | You can do it either way | 12:22 |
| DJones | Interesting, might have a look at that then | 12:22 |
| Switches | I have it set with systemd on one machine the other i do it manually | 12:22 |
| Switches | I did use the one you linked, but that led to some weird logging issues, which made me switch to the other one | 12:22 |
| Switches | Like a 968MB systemlog :p | 12:23 |
| DJones | Ouch | 12:25 |
| diddledan | weird. a traceroute doesn't seem to be working for me on win10 using bt-infinity via a homehub5 | 12:25 |
| Switches | Yeah think thats more journalds fault though than the little onedrive program | 12:25 |
| diplo | diddledan: over wireless ? having loads of issues with my g/fs Homehub, smart setting was enabled causing loads of issues | 12:30 |
| diddledan | nope, wired | 12:30 |
| diddledan | every hop timesout except the endpoint | 12:30 |
| diplo | That's odd :/ but it is BT | 12:31 |
| diddledan | speaking of win10 I just spotted a new service added in recent insider builds that they haven't told us about: SSH Server Proxy and SSH Server Broker | 12:39 |
| diddledan | both of them have a description of "Part of Microsoft SSH Server for Windows" | 12:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're automating the backdoors into windows. a real time saver :-P | 12:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | no more phone calls with people trying to get you connecting via teamviewer... | 12:41 |
| diddledan | and yes it does respond and give you a cmd.exe prompt when you login using a windows-user | 12:41 |
| diddledan | well you don't need to _try_ to get folk connecting via teamviewer anymore.. they'll do it without your knowledge now | 12:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | isn't progress wonderful... :-P | 12:42 |
| * DJones wonders whether to connect to a neighbours open printer and send a 1000 age document to it | 12:54 | |
| zmoylan-pi | a mate did send a please secure your publically available printer notice to a neighbour... | 12:55 |
| DJones | Heh, that sounds a good idea | 12:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | depending on what country you are in it's either bad or incredibly illegal | 12:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | uk is drifting towards stupidly illegal territory | 12:56 |
| diplo | I've knocked on neighbours doors before | 13:01 |
| diddledan | I tried knocking-up a neighbour but just got a slap instead | 13:03 |
| DJones | Interestingly, it only shows up in Windows add printer, but not in Ubuntu's add printer | 13:03 |
| diddledan | </norty> | 13:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | zmoylan-pi: It's open, it's clearly an invite | 13:19 |
| TwistedLucidity | DJones: To the Wireshark! | 13:20 |
| diddledan | I hate that there's the potential for prosecution for connecting to an open network without prior permission | 13:22 |
| diddledan | surely being open is permission enough | 13:22 |
| TwistedLucidity | Agreed. | 13:22 |
| TwistedLucidity | If it's open, it's clearly meant as a public resource. No other possible interpretation | 13:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | Like the people who have two dog bowls by their driveway on one of our walking routes - community service. I wouldn't expect to get jailed for "Use of a dog bowl without consent" | 13:24 |
| TwistedLucidity | Obviously my dogs would be using it, not me directly. | 13:24 |
| diddledan | wtf? windows 7 is 9 years old. that information just gave me a panic attack about my own age | 13:38 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: wot, zx81 is 35 years old. that information just gave me a panic attack about my own age ;) | 13:41 |
| diddledan | apparently there are folk eligible to vote in the us election that don't remember 9/11 due to age | 13:42 |
| diddledan | as in they are young enough to not remember, not that they're ancient | 13:43 |
| diddledan | !politics | 13:43 |
| lubotu3 | Please take political discussion to ##politics-uk. Thank you! | 13:43 |
| TwistedLucidity | !subject | 13:43 |
| TwistedLucidity | Hah, that was funny | 13:43 |
| diddledan | 9/11? | 13:44 |
| TwistedLucidity | No, what happens when lubotu3 doesn't know what comes after the ! | 13:45 |
| diddledan | !bang he shot me down !bang I hit the ground | 13:45 |
| lubotu3 | diddledan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | I got a private message | 13:45 |
| diddledan | :-p | 13:45 |
| diddledan | I'm speshul | 13:45 |
| diddledan | summer is here - first daytime use of the fan | 14:09 |
| slick | daytime use of the fan. Makes me wonder about the use of the fan at night. All the uses that go one when no one is about. | 15:55 |
| Myrtti | I was tempted to put ours on the windowsill to make it nominally more possible that there'd be a draft from one end of the house to the other | 15:57 |
| TwistedLucidity | Soon we'll have tinted windows that generate power from solar. | 15:58 |
| slick | Everyone now please hum the 007 theme. Imagine using a fan to break into a safe of a security van containing a faberge egg. | 15:58 |
| TwistedLucidity | Just don't use your own car as a getaway vehicle | 15:59 |
| brobostigon | ok, question, why does my bthub show up twice in ubuntu touch's wifi config? | 16:20 |
| Seeker` | 5GHz and 2.4GHz? | 16:31 |
| brobostigon | thats my thought, and that might be why its having trouble connecting to it, the problem i described yesterday. | 16:32 |
| brobostigon | can i specify in touch, to only use a certain frequency? | 16:32 |
| brobostigon | nmcli to the rescue. :) | 16:37 |
| Myrtti | or what we do, we've named the AP's differently | 16:44 |
| brobostigon | ah, good idea. | 16:55 |
| * brobostigon makes a note, | 16:56 | |
| tafb2 | can anyone help me install ddrescue-gui on ubuntu 16.04? I'm having real troubles :( | 18:44 |
| popey | there's a gui for ddrescue? | 18:45 |
| tafb2 | yep, it's freakin amazing | 18:45 |
| popey | Wow, love the developer's name - Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty | 18:46 |
| popey | let me see... | 18:46 |
| lopta | popey! You were in my ears this morning. | 18:46 |
| popey | uhoh | 18:46 |
| tafb2 | i had gddrescue on here before but had a hard drive fail so fresh installed 16.04, installed GDebi package manager, install the .deb for 16.04, says "complete" but I can't find ddrescue-gui anywhere on the hard drive, no icon in apps, etc :( | 18:47 |
| davmor2 | lopta: you should maybe not admit to stalking popey on a public channel ;) | 18:47 |
| popey | ok, just installed it tafb2 | 18:47 |
| tafb2 | on 16.04? | 18:47 |
| lopta | davmor2: Does listening to the podcast count as stalking? | 18:47 |
| popey | yes | 18:47 |
| lopta | Ah, I shall desist immediately then. ;-) | 18:48 |
| popey | tafb2: open a terminal and run this:- /usr/share/ddrescue-gui/DDRescue-GUI.py | 18:48 |
| popey | what happens? | 18:48 |
| tafb2 | ok, 1 sec. | 18:48 |
| popey | it shows up in the dash for me | 18:48 |
| tafb2 | running that command in terminal worked :) | 18:49 |
| popey | http://imgur.com/EYQziUL | 18:49 |
| popey | ^ shows up here | 18:49 |
| popey | thanks, I'd never heard of this. neato | 18:49 |
| tafb2 | i checked, not there for me :( | 18:49 |
| tafb2 | how do I make a shortcut/icon to that .py file? | 18:50 |
| popey | you shouldn't need to | 18:52 |
| popey | does /usr/share/applications/ddrescue-gui.desktop exist | 18:52 |
| popey | maybe logout and log back in and it will appear | 18:52 |
| tafb2 | yep /usr/share/applications/ddrescue-gui.desktop exists! | 18:53 |
| tafb2 | i'll try a logout | 18:53 |
| tafb2 | logout and log back in worked, THANKS! | 18:55 |
| tafb2 | now to recover my data :( *crosses fingers& | 18:55 |
| Switches | That could be interesting http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Firefox-48-Electrolysis | 19:00 |
| popey | tafb2: yay | 19:15 |
| ali1234 | i've been using FF developer editions for ages... E10S is still really buggy... | 19:27 |

| velus | hello all a strange request but is there anyone that can do a copy of the ubuntu 16.04 and send it to me please i put on arch linux on my main system having problems with it and lost my ubuntu disk soewhere | 20:07 |
| lopta | velus: You can download the ISO from the Web site, I think. | 20:11 |
| lopta | ...or do you need it sent to you on a disc? | 20:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | might be quicker finding a newsagents with a cover disc with linux on it... | 20:14 |
| velus | i need it sent on a disk my main pc which has the dvd birner on it is broke and needs reinstalling, so i canty do it my self. | 20:16 |
| velus | i did have one i donwloaded but i lost the disk somehwere | 20:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | you can download it and put it on a usb drive | 20:17 |
| lopta | I miss newsagents. | 20:17 |
| velus | my pc wont boot from usb i have tried that already | 20:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | should be able to change the boot priority in bios so that it can boot from usb | 20:19 |
| velus | it dont have an option for usb or even removable drive | 20:20 |
| diddledan | if your pc can't boot from USB I would suggest that it might be too ancient to be a useful pc :-) | 20:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've seen bios that only lists the removeable drive when there is a removeable drive plugged in | 20:20 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: mine does that | 20:21 |
| velus | its not that ancient to be honest, i think it might be the bios to be honest the pc is pretty good better than the laptop | 20:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's annoying, isn't it? | 20:21 |
| brobostigon | cant grub be configured to boot from usb even when the bios doesnt directly support it? | 20:21 |
| diddledan | it has an option for USB-HDD but it does nothing. instead I have to insert the disk/stick and select it from the list of drives after (an additional item appears with the filesystem's name) | 20:21 |
| * zmoylan-pi casts ward confusion at mention of grub... :-) | 20:21 | |
| diddledan | brobostigon: I believe so, yes | 20:21 |
| brobostigon | diddledan: :) | 20:22 |
| diddledan | are images broken on twitter right now? | 20:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | nope | 20:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've just had a few images put up and they are been liked | 20:25 |
| Switches | diddledan broked the interwebz! | 20:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/740631443408314368/photo/1 | 20:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | diddledan typed bing into bing? | 20:25 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/NfC43nhb/ | 20:26 |
| * diddledan double-checks there were no porn tabs on that screenie | 20:26 | |
| * zmoylan-pi keeps fork handy in case i have to poke my own eyes out... | 20:27 | |
| diddledan | is it just me, or has development speed increased on ubuntu? - e.g. the regular 6-weekly OTA for the touch platform, and now snapd getting weekly releases | 20:30 |
| diddledan | popey: are you breaking the speedlimit over there in canonicalland? | 20:30 |
| popey | i do hope so | 20:39 |
| diddledan | wtf? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-kY2WWWEyQ | 20:40 |
| diddledan | popey: yey | 20:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | with windows phone tanking and blackberry now just another android shop it's our best hope for a 3rd phone os... | 20:42 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: ubuntu touch is codenamed the babylon project (in my dreams) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtrUhIuEqdY | 20:43 |
| diddledan | our last best hope | 20:44 |
| * zmoylan-pi loves b5... https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/740303448554475520 | 20:44 | |
| diddledan | ha | 20:45 |
| diddledan | btw, it seems twats' images are working again | 20:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | the concept of the war between the vorlons and the shadows was brilliant | 20:45 |
| diddledan | I truly felt the galactic scale and importance of it all when I watched it end-to-end | 20:46 |
| diddledan | it was a well-planned and executed story | 20:47 |
| diddledan | everything intertwined | 20:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | it changed sci fi forever. it's why ds9 is so good as that was the trek universes version of b5 | 20:47 |
| diddledan | aye | 20:47 |
| diddledan | I really need to take a week and watch ds9 end-to-end | 20:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | up till then sci fi was episodic. no major changes between episodes. after b5 they all that a story book arc for the entire run of all seasons | 20:48 |
| diddledan | xfiles was another milestone in having a monster-of-the-week but also a long-runnning story arc | 20:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think i prefer ds9 over b5 but that's more that trek is a much bigger established universe whereass b5 was a little rough and ready as it was an all new team doing sci fi with unknown actors | 20:49 |
| diddledan | in recent times very little has beaten the remade BSG | 20:50 |
| diddledan | heroes was pretty decent tho | 20:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | i watched a few episodes of that but never got into it. which considering i loved ds9 which was ron moore as was bsg is odd | 20:51 |
| diddledan | might be a toss-up between heroes and BSG | 20:51 |
| diddledan | oh I lurved BSG | 20:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah a lot did but i think it was that i will always remember the crappy 70s version first | 20:52 |
| diddledan | lol | 20:52 |
| diddledan | yeah I'm a little young to properly remember the original - I was an early-80s birth | 20:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | that and buck rogers with the obligatory moon princess in shiny tight space suits in a disco setting... | 20:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | boy did sci fi suck back then | 20:53 |
| diddledan | lol, buck rogers was a straight rip-off from the original BSG | 20:53 |
| lopta | diddledan: Wasn't Buck Rogers around as a b&w series (and radio series) long before BSG was written? | 20:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | so it was either buck rogers, battle star galactica, blake 7 or doctor who... | 20:55 |
| lopta | August 1928, apparently. | 20:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | there was a 30s buck rogers i think | 20:55 |
| diddledan | lopta: wow | 20:55 |
| diddledan | I wasn't aware | 20:55 |
| lopta | I vaguely remember some b&w films... | 20:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | went with flash gordon era serials... probably had the same rubber frilled lizards chasing space ships with sparklers attached... | 20:55 |
| lopta | Oh wait, I'm thinking of Flash Gordon. | 20:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'm sure there was a buck rogers serial as well | 20:56 |
| diddledan | I'm a naive youngen :-p | 20:56 |
| lopta | Hah... Buck Rogers' name was Anthony. | 20:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | 1939 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers_%28serial%29 | 20:56 |
| diddledan | 12 amazing thrill thonged chapters | 20:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | running time 237 minutes... that sold a lot of popcorn | 20:58 |
| diddledan | 4 hours | 20:58 |
| diddledan | about one lord-of-the-rings | 20:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've seen most of the flash gordons. bbc2 used to run them in 80s for cheap tv. so bad they were... bad... | 20:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | not a patch on 80s flash gordon with queen soundtrack | 20:59 |
| lopta | I want to see the 1933 short. | 20:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | very hard to find, very expensive to purchase iirc | 20:59 |
| diddledan | I love that the scale of good to bad goes something like "amazing -> awful -> good -> terrible" | 20:59 |
| diddledan | blessed brian wins for shear gravitas in that movie | 21:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | hmmm it was edited into short film planet outlaws... i think i have that on dvd... | 21:00 |
| diddledan | sheer? | 21:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | did you see his costume... shear was right :-P | 21:00 |
| diddledan | lol | 21:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | some poor alpaca freezing its knackers off while that film was been made... | 21:01 |
| lopta | "COME ON FLASH!" | 21:01 |
| diddledan | something about brass monkeys | 21:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's just a great flippin film. great plot, great sound track, great silliness | 21:02 |
| * lopta wonders what to feed the children. | 21:03 | |
| diddledan | you forgot the "to". "what to feed the children to" | 21:03 |
| * zmoylan-pi passes around the generic aldi penguins bars... seal bars... | 21:03 | |
| zmoylan-pi | mind i did like sky captain and the world of tomorrow knock off made a few years back | 21:05 |
| diddledan | apparently aes256 is weaker than supposed: http://yournewswire.com/encryption-security-may-not-be-secure-anymore/ | 21:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | you can probably crack it on a pi-zero super computer cluster for about uk£100 :-P | 21:08 |
| lopta | I'm supposed to build a cluster but I probably won't use the Pi Zero | 21:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | ...if you can find that many pi zero of course... | 21:09 |
| lopta | ...because it doesn't have Ethernet built in. | 21:09 |
| diddledan | what's going on in the desert? http://www.iflscience.com/technology/mysterious-tests-will-scramble-gps-signals-on-americas-west-coast-this-month/ | 21:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're throwing off dominos automated navigation so that they get free pizza when it's late :-P | 21:54 |
| diddledan | I wonder if that's a throttling issue - one of my pcs is downloading the new windows insider build from today but the other one can't see that it's available | 23:53 |
| diddledan | when is daftykins returning from that spain? | 23:54 |
| * diddledan disappearing off to that Wales on Friday | 23:54 | |
| diddledan | supposedly they have internets so I might be able to pop-in | 23:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | i hope he got some sleep before having to head off at that early hour | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | of course all the ip packets in wales have to be weather proofed for the weather and been exposed to all that close harmony singing | 23:59 |
